i don't consider myself an extreme tightwad but then i don't consider it dumpster diving either.... once in awhile, when we are driving around doing the yard sale thing we will see that someone has left perfectly good stuff out on the sidewalk next to the trash can and we will sometimes pick it up depending on what it is... we picked up 2 sets of speaker stands at one place and sold them for $10... can't remember anything else...
that's about it for us... usually any good stuff curbside gets picked up way before we see it since we don't keep track of trash days or actively go looking for stuff...
